Online Education Space
Posted by pete quinlan on Mar 4, 2009
It’s pretty amazing how competitive online education has become. So many affiliates marketers, so many spammers, yet online colleges are paying $25 a pop for good leads. I worked with a company that was calling the collected leads to verify their authenticity only to realize that some jackass affiliate had gotten contact info from an obituary list. This poor girl was calling homes of people that had died within the past month and asking if they were interested in online education. I have spent some time checking the affiliate conversion rates and it is quite low…so few good leads and so many disconnected phone numbers. Despite it all schools are paying and getting the leads. All they need is a few to convert and they make their money. It seems the onlie way to get a large number of effective leads is do get them organically by provided some good info about online schools.
Get Your Site Indexed

Good Solid site architecture is the key to having a website indexed by the major search engines. Although a site map is a nice way to get all of your pages to the major search engines, it is a crutch. Proper architecture, with your “Money” pages closer to the home page is the most important thing you can do. Get people(search engines) to the pages of your website as fast as possible. It’s really that simple whether you have a real estate website, a marketing site or a blog about you favorite TV show….it’s about you site architecture. Go fix it.
Hurley Stickers Galore
Posted by pete quinlan on Jan 5, 2009
A friend of mine suggested that we sell his Hurley stickers. He has several thousand stickers. I am wondering what the best way to sell Hurley Surf stickers would be. It seems like a small item, but I guess a traditional e-commerce site might be the best way to sell the stickers. Perhaps a blog with a quick purchase option might also be a good way to sell stickers. I imagine shipping would be easy. I think he also has a bunch of quicksilver stickers. I guess I will have to do some homework on the surf sticker market. Update…Surf Sticker Website.
